Quoting: roothorickWe really should advocate for dynamic linking and shipping the .so's alongside the game, specifically for situations like this. A lot of games won't get updated at all.

From what I understand, there certainly are means of "divine intervention" - such as launching pesky nuggets into space.

Quoting: GuestI'd say cut them some slack, it's not like they raised more than 1 million dollars and then just basically went with "fuck you linux (and mac) users"...

At least KCD gave refunds (and it sounds like they did for this project also); there have been a few others that just ignore their obligations completely. Complaining to Kickstarter doesn't help either, unless there's lots of bad publicity.

The engine excuse is indeed a bit thin, when Daedalic released Linux versions of their Visionaire games, and the company behind the engine promised a Linux version of their own (Kickstarter-funded) game.

Looks neat, but the price seems a little high for such a short game.

You can get Rise of the Tomb Raider in the current Humble Monthly

Quoting: g000hMeanwhile I grabbed the previous August Monthly Bundle and got...
The Escapists 2 (early unlock)
Kona (didn't have it already)
Sudden Strike 4 (didn't have it already)

I was meaning to pause August and forgot / thought I had more time, but wasn't disappointed when Sudden Strike 4 and Kona were included. But already having Rise of the Tomb Raider, I'm definitely going to have to remember to pause September.

Quoting: x_wingThe game really use almost all the resources of the original game

Does Unity make it easy to extract resources or something?

Quoting: x_wingThe story it's kinda "meh", but the devs made a really nice work with graphics and sound.

I enjoyed it, except for the voices used for Sam & Max.

The upward trend for AMD on both CPU and GPU is interesting to see. Also, looks like I'll need a RAM upgrade soon. :-p

The big Steam Client update is out for everyone with the new Steam Chat

QuoteAdded the ability to import Windows icons for games with no Linux icons; will only take effect after reinstalling the game and recreating the desktop and launcher shortcuts

Nice, but why do you have to reinstall? :-(

QuoteFixed a problem where the screensaver would always be disabled if Steam was running

This fix came just in time; I thought something else was busted!
